Chapter 285: Crow’s Mouth
Chapter 285
Although it was already deep autumn, the autumn in Shencheng was not cold.
Huang De Han had slept in a small inn for a day, and when the night grew thick, he quietly sneaked back home.
He was very careful all the way, afraid of being discovered by others, but fortunately, he didn't encounter anyone along the way.
After returning home, he took out a small travel bag and packed two sets of clothes and some valuable items.
As for the property certificate, he didn't take it with him.
After packing his things, he left.
At the entrance of the residential area, he hailed a taxi and got in. He asked the driver, "Master, are you going to Kun City?"
Shencheng to Kun City was over 1,400 kilometers, and the driver had never received such a big fare before, so he was very happy and thought Huang De Han must have had an urgent matter to take a taxi in the middle of the night. He brazenly quoted a price of ten thousand.
He thought Huang De Han would haggle with him, but he didn't expect Huang De Han to readily agree, saying, "Okay."
Seeing Huang De Han being so agreeable, the driver regretted quoting too low. After some thought, he said, "It's over 1,400 kilometers from here to Kun City. You'll have to buy me food and drink for the journey."
"Okay, let's get going." Huang De Han said readily.
Only then did the driver start the car.
He looked at Huang De Han through the rearview mirror and started a conversation, "Brother, are you in such a hurry to go to Kun City in the middle of the night? Is there something urgent?"
Huang De Han vaguely responded, "Yes."
"Did something happen?" the driver asked again.
"My father-in-law passed away." Huang De Han made up a story.
Upon hearing this, the driver sighed, "Brother, my condolences. No wonder you're rushing back. By the way, what about your wife? Why isn't she going with you?"
"My wife also passed away." Huang De Han continued to fabricate, simply chatting with the driver since he was bored.
The driver quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, brother, I didn't know... Let's not talk about this topic. My condolences to you!"
The driver didn't dare to speak again, afraid of upsetting Huang De Han.
It had to be said that Huang De Han had a real knack for jinxing things.
The next day, Li Man received a call from her mother, saying that Tang Guangyao was really in bad shape this time and asked her to come back quickly.
Li Man hurriedly took her daughter and flew back.
Before boarding the plane, she called Huo Jian Sheng and told him that her father was in critical condition and she had to go back now.
Upon hearing the news, Huo Jian Sheng immediately asked his secretary to book two plane tickets.
The old man had recognized Xinyu as his granddaughter, and at the end of his life, he definitely wanted to see her.
As for Huang Duo Duo, Li Man couldn't possibly explain things to him at this time, so she could only let the misunderstanding continue.
Li Liangsheng had already been brought back home.
Zhang Yan saw that Li Man didn't bring back Duo Duo and asked anxiously, "Where's Duo Duo? Why didn't you bring her back?"
When they were on the plane just now, Li Man told Huang Duo Duo that she would take her to see her grandparents, and she also told Huang Duo Duo about the incident when someone impersonated her.
"Grandma, I am Duo Duo. The person who came last time was a fake. I am your granddaughter." Huang Duo Duo interjected.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan looked at Li Man in surprise. Li Man felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Mom, I'll explain to you later. I'll go in and check on Dad first."
Zhang Yan stopped Li Man and said, "Duo Duo, you don't have to go in. He's about to leave, so let's not make him feel sad again."
Li Man nodded and instructed Huang Duo Duo, "Duo Duo, wait outside for Mom. Listen to Grandma, okay?"
"Okay, Mom," Huang Duo Duo replied.
